The previous action of Nanopool and 700 000 SIA coins have not been forgotten, as the developers of the pool have already launched a new one. This time, to attract miners, the service refused the Commission, as stated in his Twitter. Now to get the SIA is available for free. The promotion will last at least two weeks.
When on sale there is a special chip ASICs for SiaCoin, get the coin on the GPU became unprofitable. These "asiks" are sharpened exclusively for The blake2b algorithm, on which the SIA network operates, and find blocks hundreds of times faster than conventional Nvidia.
Most SiaCoin miners have not yet purchased asiks (as the devices are very expensive) and transferred power to Pascal and Monero. Those who have already bought the ASICs, seized the main part of the network.
SIA miners less, but they have become more powerful. They opened a real hunt. Therefore, Nanopool attracts new users with zero Commission. Given that the only alternative pool takes about 3% is a bargain.
It should be recalled that Nanopool is one of the largest pools in the world in Ethereum mining. Its hashrate in the network is about 15%. Also users of the pool extract Ethereum Classic, ZCash, Monero, Pascal and Electroneum.
On February 14, Poole added support for SIA Asian on port 12222, after which he launched a daily distribution of 100,000 free coins for miners SIA, which will end on February 21.
